Zuber Lawler & Del Duca's Employment Law Group prevailed on a motion for summary judgment earlier this week in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of the firm's client Sempra Energy and its subsidiary Southern California Gas Company. The action was brought by a former employee against Sempra Energy under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA") for alleged disability discrimination, including claims for retaliation, failure to accommodate, and failure to engage in the interactive process.

This victory arrives on the heels of a successful motion to dismiss a complaint filed in 2013 against Sempra Energy alleging wrongful termination in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act and a collective bargaining agreement.
